Section 4.1, pg.28 says:
BSR Address The address of the bootstrap router for the domain. The format for this address is given in the Encoded-Unicast address in [1].
It should say:
BSR Address The address of the bootstrap router for the domain. The format | for this address is given in the Encoded-Unicast address format | defined in [1] and restated in Section 4.
Notes:
Note: This Erratum was updated by the AD from the original proposal. The original suggested replacing the reference to [1] with a reference to Section 4. The resolution includes both references.
The notes below were updated to be consistent with this change.
======
The above quotation is at the bottom of page 28.
Further instances of the same issue are enumerated at the end of these Notes.
Rationale:
In Section 4, on page 24, the RFC purposely restates the terms
"Encoded-Unicast format" and "Encoded-Group format" from [1] and
continues:
We repeat these here to aid readability.
---- End of Rationale ----
This issue recurs four more times, and similar changes
should be applied:
o on page 29, in the first item, "Group Address 1..n",
o on page 29, in the 4th item, "RP address 1..m"
(subject to preceding Erratum),
as well as in Section 4.2:
o on page 32, in the 3rd item, "RP Address", and
o on page 32, in the 4th item, "Group Address-1..n"
(Note that the hyphen above also should be a blank, for consistency.)
